IN A NEIGHBORHOOD already packed with luxury hotels, trendy restaurants, and rooftop bars, The Grand Bohemian still manages to stand out. Each room in the building, part of the Marriott’s Autograph Collection, teems with glitzy accents and custom Bohemian chandeliers. Its ground-floor restaurant, Mico, is one of three dining options inside the hotel, which opened in uptown last August.
Mico (Spanish for “monkey”) feels like both a restaurant and a museum with its rich wood floors, blue velvet seating, and vibrant Argentinean paintings. The South American-inspired menu is full of complex flavors and unexpected food mash-ups like harissa creamed spinach and brown butter bread crumbs. Chef de Cuisine Whitney Thomas arranges each dish with edible flowers and vibrant vegetables that frame the plate.
Start with a cerveza, a glass of Argentinean wine, or a specialty cocktail like the Trade Street Sangria ($14). Order some lamb kofta kebabs ($15) for the table, and dip them in muhammara, a walnut and hot red-pepper spread that’s sweet, savory, smoky, and a little bit spicy.
